Reverse sticky part of a sticker

Is it possible to cut vinyl so the sticky part is on the opposite side? I think it would be way cool if I could put stickers on the inside of my car window so I can protect them from the elements. I don't know how much demand there would be for this but I have lost many a letter due to dirt and snow

the problem with window stickers is that the sun usually melts the glue pretty fast.

Well I'd consider myself ignorant rather than stupid considering I don't own a diecutter nor have ever made a sticker. I was just thinking that it would be nice to have this style of sticker in the ns store. That's all

No worries. I realize now that I was not very clear in the original post

Are there any other disadvantages to window stickers besides the glue melting in the sun?

well if you have tinted window, might be tougher to see the sticker.

I think if you wipe down the outside of you're car, make sure it's clean and dry, and then put the stickers on, they should stay. just incase, use a lighter to melt them on a lil bit, makes em stay better

mine have stayed pretty good on my back window. the only problem is they sometimes get scratched up a bit when i scrape my windows in the morning
